van, cobalt blue. Very stylish! The drive was comfortable and didn't take as long as I'd expected.
Most was on major highways. We saw many windfarms, the big modern 100-foot propeller kinds along the way, and
two nuclear power plants, and 3 or 4 castles or churches - they look similar from far away.
As planned, our hotel is in the center of the town of Houffalize, but the town itself is much smaller than I
imagined. The hotel is great though! The dinner last night was very good. They had a bar with
heavy appetizers, each with its own sauce, like holandaise for the greenbeans, oils for the shredded
carrots, thick creamy spreads for crackers... all were very good. On the main buffet were pastas, salads,
meats, fish and caseroles - salmon and cheese last night. Chocolate mouse for deseert. Beer and bottled
water are extra, but for breakfast they had champagne in an ice bucket on the buffet with the fruit juices.
One thing that is funny about our hotel is that it's where they filmed the "telephone scene" from Off Road
to Athens - Jeremiah showed me the infamous telephone!
The sun is coming out - it was raining yesterday and when we woke up this morning. I'm going to walk around
town and see some sights. Since we have a good internet connection (FREE) we'll be able to post some
pictures to Jeremiah's gallery.
Having fun,
Erin
